So You Drafted Jordy Nelson - Now What?

So you’re one of the poor souls who held/attended your fantasy football draft right smack dab in the middle of the NFL injury apocalypse known as preseason? Not only that, but you went ahead and drafted Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson all of six minutes before he supposedly tore his ACL during a […]

And How Is LeSean McCoy Feeling Today?

With running back LeSean McCoy, the Buffalo Bills are the DirectTV of the AFC East. Without - they’re cable. Oh, who are we kidding? The Bills aren’t even good enough to be considered cable – they’re an ill functioning Etch-A-Sketch, only 86 percent less entertaining. And that’s WITH McCoy in top shape. The only entertaining […]

Good to Know Victor Cruz Hurt His OTHER Goddamn Leg

Well, New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz fell victim to a calf strain that will keep him out of practice and off the preseason field for a beat. Now before your rear end clinches up tighter than Aaron Hernandez during a prison riot free-for-all, rest assured that it’s not the same leg Cruz injured […]

RGIII's Timing Couldn't Possibly Be Worse, Taken Out of Preseason Game

Concussions in the NFL are no laughing matter. At all. That being said… What the f**k, RGIII? Or, actually in this case: What the f**k, Redskins? During Thursday night’s preseason game against the Detroit Lions, starting quarterback for the Washington Redskins, Robert Griffin III, had to leave the game early due to some pretty heavy […]

What The Hell Happened To All The Bills Running Backs?

Despite the injury, McCoy is expected to play in the […]

Time To Check In on Johnny Manziel Because it’s Apparently Required

Hey guys, remember when couldn’t utter Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel’s name without a bunch of poor mouth-breathing, Jack Daniels spewing, frat boy douche-drops squealing like sorority sisters during fleet week while rubbing their fingers together like complete and utter tools? Yeah, neither does Browns head coach Mike Pattine, who has stated countless times that […]

Is RGIII Worth the Gamble? He Seems to Think So

*Sometimes, when the stars align perfectly, a NFL football player will open his mouth and rain down an abundance of chunky word vomit complete with asinine assumptions and painfully funny jokes that aren’t meant to be jokes. The latest is Washington Redskins quarterback and Mike Shanahan victim Robert Griffin III, who went on the record […]

When Cam Newton Gets Pissed, We All Win

Let’s face it: most of us claim that we’d rather drink bleach through a straw, made entirely out of thorns, than watch preseason football (that means absolutely nothing) or pay attention to training camps. But we secretly are thanking the NFL gods that our eyes get to feast upon clashing helmets once again. One thing […]

For Christ Sakes Jets, Seriously? Geno Smith Sucker Punched

Good news guys. The New York Jets are still a joke!

Brandon Carr Channels His Inner DeMarco, Breaks Bone in Hand

Off season injuries continue to plague the Dallas Cowboys like a heap of festering hemorrhoids on steroids. Today’s victim was defensive back Brandon Carr, who broke a bone in his hand during press coverage - a similar injury that plagued former Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray last season. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that Carr […]

Marcus Mariota Has Yet to Throw an Interception at Camp, Which Basically Means Crap

Observing NFL training camps is a hoot. Fans claw desperately at minuscule factoids in order to satisfy their thirst for football, even if the factoids mean absolute wrinkled balls on a stale cracker. Speaking of which, it’s widely known that rookie Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota has yet to throw an interception at training camp. […]

Fight Breaks Out Between Washington Redskins and Houston Texans’ Training Camps

Hats off to the MENSA candidate who thought a joint practice between the Houston Texans and the Washington Redskins would be a genius idea.

DeSean Jackson Has No Time For Your Mediocre Skills, Top NFL Cornerbacks

So, this happened… Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson went on record and explained to the NFL world how good he thinks he is and there’s not anyone in the league that could cover him. Richard Sherman? Nope. Darrelle Revis? Not a chance. A cheetah wearing a Dick LeBeau Halloween face-mask? Never. That’s right – […]

Dez Bryant Pulls Hamstring, Listed Day-to-Day

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver and all around modest guy Dez Bryant is listed as Day-to-Day after missing Saturday’s practice with a hamstring strain, but fantasy owners and Cowboys fans shouldn’t piss their pants yet. Bryant is a known offensive weapon when playing up to par, however, if the WR should miss any more time, the […]

He Gone! Aldon Smith Cut From 49ers

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me a crap load of times, shame- wait… what the absolute f***? San Francisco linebacker and acting treasurer of DumbassVille Aldon Smith was arrested Thursday night for a hit-and-run accident and for driving under the influence. Oh, and let’s not forget vandalism. […]

Per Ian Rapoport on Twitter, the 49ers also released a statement saying, “This […]

Blocking Sled Takes Down DeSean Jackson

If you’re gonna talk a big game about how the most powerful cornerbacks in the league can’t even stop you, you should first make sure you’re also immune to inanimate objects. Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson went on the record the other day with ESPN’s John Keim, expressing that “I don’t think no one […]

Dez Bryant Gets Into Altercation Because Why the Hell Not?

In the world of football, especially in the magical land of the Dallas Cowboys, tempers can flare and crap seems to escalate rather quickly. Wide receiver Dez Bryant and defensive back Tyler Patmon exchanged a few words, knocked helmets, and threw some punches during team drills at training camp on Sunday. Not wanting to be […]

Alfred Blue Balls: Arian Foster to Possibly Have Groin Surgery

Ouch – for both Houston Texans key running back Arian Foster, and to those who were looking forward to drafting Foster in their fantasy football league (and by “those” people, I mean poor Blackberry-texting time travelers from the year 2012). After suffering a serious groin injury during Monday’s training camp, it was reported that Foster, […]

We Don’t Make Fun of You Enough, Raiders?

Remember the good old days when folks would make fun of the Oakland Raiders by saying they didn’t know if they were watching Oakland training camp footage or a deleted scene from a “Cops” DVD special? My, have times changed for the worst. What kind of reputation are you trying to build when a teeny […]

So, Does Jimmy Garoppolo Suck?

New England Patriots’ fans are used to having their feathers ruffled (or, in this case, having their feathers ruffled and soaked in gasoline while they punt a lit candle at a local Chevron station) considering their team hits a controversial wall every now and then. So quarterback Tom Brady being forced to take an extended […]

Game of Thrones: Roger Goodell Upholds Tom Brady’s Suspension

Stop me if you've heard this joke before: So Tom Brady's phone and Ray Lewis' white suit walk into a bar...

Dez Bryant Loses Cool Over Madden 16 Speed Score

Look up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! Well, it sure as hell isn’t Dez Bryant according to his speed rating on NFL Madden 16. Twitter happens to be an excellent source of identifying which athletes are in desperate need of some Midol, so it’s only natural that Bryant took to the […]

Marcus Mariota Signs With That One Team Everyone Forgets Exists

After doing their best impression of the invisible man this past decade, the Tennessee Titans took off their glasses and pulled down their ponytail to reveal that they are no longer the plain, four-eyed nerdy girl everyone overlooks – they’re now just the plain girl with freaking contact lenses and a complexion issue. The Titans […]

Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings Agree to Restructured Contract

The 2015 fantasy football year is looking to be remarkably similar to that of 2012, when Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was flying off the board as the number one pick (you remember that year – when all quarterback Christian Ponder had to do was wake up long enough to yawn and pass the […]

The NFL Probably Won’t Budge on Stance Regarding Tom Brady’s Balls

It was reported earlier Monday morning from sources close to the league that the NFL “feels” it needs to uphold New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady’s four-game suspension for his role in the controversial Deflategate. Brady appealed the suspension in June and now eagerly waits to hear if NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will uphold or […]

It’s Time For Another Round of “Which NFL Player Was Arrested Today?!”

Tennessee Titans wide receiver, and usual Week Eight drunk wavier wire pick-up, Justin Hunter turned himself in to authorities on Monday in Virginia Beach, Virginia. A warrant was issued for his arrest, following a July 3rd bar brawl that left one person hospitalized for injuries sustained in the fight. This doesn't really help improve the 24-year-old's […]
